Pray That BKCC Shall Be Like A City Set On A Hill

Pray That BKCC Shall Be Like A City Set On A Hill That Cannot Be Hidden

Today, we will pray that BKCC shall be like a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 says, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” This shows that the Church should give the world illumination. A city can be in darkness if the Church is not present there. That means that the gross darkness is not the absence of sunlight. Darkness in a life or in a city is due to the absence of believers who are the light of the world.

However, it is possible for you to light your candle and still put it under a bushel. Your city needs your light for illumination. That is why we are going to pray for BKCC. We shall be blazing like a city set on a hill. Our light will be conspicuous. 

God Will Take You From Obscurity to Limelight

It is not the will of God for you to be in obscurity when you can come into the limelight. Jesus while He was on earth did not seek to be famous, yet His fame went abroad. Most of the time when He did a miracle, He would tell the people not to mention His name. However, these people always go out to spread the good news about Jesus. Jesus Christ’s exploits were glaring for all to see. Jesus lived at a time when there was no traditional media like Television or radio stations. I doubt if there were print media while Jesus was on earth. I am so sure that there was no digital media like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and other social media during His time. Yet, all His exploits were obvious for all to see. 

Jesus Was A City Set On A Hill

Jesus Christ was always pulling the crowd. The only means of marketing that must be popular during His time is word of mouth marketing. Before Jesus arrived at any destination, the news would have spread all over. The crowd would have gathered waiting for Him. He was healing all manners of diseases, raising the dead and delivering those who were under demonic oppression. Jesus does not want us to hide our light because we are also the light of the world. He wants us to set our city upon a hill where the whole world will see it. I pray that BKCC will shine like a city set on a hill. The whole world will see our light in Jesus’ name. 

You Will Arise and Shine

God gave us the command to shine in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah 60:1-3 says, “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” If we refuse to shine our light, we will not attract the Gentiles. Also, the kings will only come to the brightness of our rising. This is the major reason why we cannot afford to hide our light under a bushel. As we pray today, I pray that the Lord will make us a city set o a hill. Our light will shine for the whole world to see in Jesus’ name.
